Kabir and Al-Wasat (the ancient monastery), Abu Abed Ali Bey Sheikh Yassin, Al-Hamidiyah, Hittin Al-Qusour Al-Shuhada (employees), Maysalun (workers), Tishreen, Al-Thawra, Al-Othmaniyah (Al-Huwaiqa). The city center and its commercial market are represented in the neighborhoods of Sheikh Yassin, Abu Abed, Al Rashidiya, Kabir Mosque, and Ali Bey. The city has a number of gardens, especially in the Al-Qusour neighborhood, the most beautiful neighborhood of Deir Ezzor, next to Al-Huwaiqa orchards and its lush gardens. As for the majority of the buildings, it is two floors (42 floors) built of cement. from live

The city of Deir Ezzor is a commercial center for its countryside and desert, where people from the countryside and desert flock to its markets carrying the produce of their land and animals to sell and shop for their needs from. The most important thing that distinguishes the city of Deir Ezzor is the large number of cafes and garages in it, which number close to a hundred, and which are crowded with visitors, especially in the evening hours.

Unfortunately, Deir Ezzor is poor in its tourism facilities. If we exclude the two hotels of Al-Waha, Furat Al-Sham, and the kind of Raghadan Hotel, the many other hotels are far from any appearance befitting human dignity. Most of its restaurants are also popular. And there is no kind of investment for the tourism potential in the city, so where are the parks on the river, where are the swimming pools, and where are the tourist boats? .

And we will continue our tour starting from Deir Ezzor towards the city of Abu Kamal, and we will not go out on our march outside the Euphrates Valley except in the last third of the distance from Deir Ezzor Abu Kamal road, and we will see soil salinization in most of the areas that varied in the degree of salinization and in its wide spread. After we go out we pass out, with

Deir Ezzor directly, we pass directly to the north from Deir Ezzor airport, and after about 4 km we leave the village of Al-Jufra on our left, extending its construction to the road, and after about 4 km we reach the village of Al-Mari’iya, whose houses are scattered between the main road and the riverbed in a scattered manner at times and relatively lumpy at other times, and to our right is about 200 meters Agricultural Research Center. After Al-Mari’iyah, about 3 km, we reach the village of Al-Abd, where the degree of continuous soil salinity increases until the junction of the village of Muhassan, especially on the right side of our road. The course of the river is 8 km. It is the center of a district with a population of about 14,500 people (Nufous records for the beginning of 1988), however, about half of this number are immigrants outside the town, either to Damascus and Aleppo, or to the Arabian Gulf, and it is generally a temporary migration, they return to their town from time to time. The village houses in general are about a kilometer away from the riverbed, and mud houses are still visible there, but modern rural cement houses have spread widely in the past twenty years. The town includes a variety of services such as paved roads, a telephone, a health center, a sports club, pure drinking water, etc. The people of the village of Mohassan have a history of struggle against the French colonialists in confronting him in 1921 AD with the people of the neighboring villages, especially the people of the village of Al-Bu Omar (the left bank, Al-Mre’iya and Al-Abed). The road leads towards Deir Ezzor Al-Bukamal road, to meet it at the village of Medad, to continue through it at the tip of the southern valley, where salinity decreases after it increases between the villages of Medad and the village of Saalo, which is located to the east of it by about 4 km, close to the left bank of the Euphrates, as it is away from the main road towards it by km. They climbed about 3 km away. Another road branches off towards the river bank, where there is a village

Zubari, some of whose houses extend to the main road (Deir Ezzor Al-Bukamal), as if it were an extension of the village of Buqras Fawqani, which is about 36 km from Deir Ezzor, and where the archaeological hill is located to the south of the village, which is connected to an asphalt road with a length of about 800 meters, and a height of about 220 meters above sea level. The level of the Euphrates Valley is about seven meters. This hill represents the historical village of Boqrus, from which archaeological excavations removed the soil and drew the features of its plan and showed it clearly. It represents ten successive residential floors dating back to the period of 6400-5900 BC. M. Its houses, made of mud and hard plaster, are divided into small, colorful rooms with low doors and wall paintings. Many household items (stone utensils and pottery vessels) were found in the rooms of the houses, and flint tools that were used in daily life (scrapers, spear heads, knives...etc.) were found.

The houses are connected to an overlying disc with an infra-disk that follows it to the east, with the first centered on both sides of the road, especially the left side, while the center of the second is located away from the road to the north within the turn of a large river elbow, bringing its scattered urbanization to the main road, so that both the supra- and infra-disk appear to extend About 10 km along the way. Most of the construction near the road is composed of cement and stones, so that the mud construction increases by moving away from it towards the river.

And it is only a few kilometers (about 4 km) until we see the historic city of Al-Mayadeen, which tells its effects and history a long story of a person who lived in it and built it and built a tall castle to the north of it overlooking it with a beautiful view. The third BC and during the reign of Malik bin Tawq al-Qarn is
